Thinking things over

I've had a pretty decent past few days. Sure, I've eaten a few too many snacks and my soda-drinking hasn't stopped, but my core meals are still great and I've been working out! I've been thinking about what I'm going through and wish that I had a place to turn, somewhere to go for support. I think it would be really great if there were a weight watchers group here, but I know that this small town would never support it. The accountability of a weekly weigh-in would be great, but mostly I want the companionship and support of women like me. I'm thinking what it would take to get a group like that started here. I know quite a few women that I see daily that are in the same boat; wanting to lose a lot of weight, but going at it alone. I have to admit that I'm not QUITE going at it alone. MM is a tremendous support to me, but sometimes he just doesn't know how to help or what I'm going through. I'm scared because I think it's a great idea, but I just don't know how to get it started or if I'd even be the right person to take charge of something like that.

I know that I can find plenty of support groups online, but I'm a bit tired of all of that. I want someone that I can sit in front of, face-to-face, and talk to. I want to be able to give someone a pat on the back for a job well-done and a hug for when times get tough. I'm just feeling this out and thinking it through right now. I'm not going to make any moves. For now, I will just pray. Please, dear reader, will you pray with me?
